WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Mount Greylock Regional School presents "Arsenic and Old Lace" in the school’s auditorium at 1781 Cold Spring Road in Williamstown. Performances are May 8 and 9 at 7 p.m.

According to a press release: 

Charity. Hijinks. Murder. When Abby and Martha Brewster take it upon themselves to put lonely men out of their misery, their nephew Mortimer is forced to cover their tracks. Adding to the chaos are Mortimer’s brother who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, another brother who’s a dangerous criminal, and a doctor named Einstein, but not the one you’re thinking of. Will Mortimer save his sweet, elderly aunts from spending their remaining days behind bars? Can he save his own engagement to his sweetheart, Elaine? Find out in this fast-paced, zany comedy that proves the only thing scarier than death is family.

Williamstown Voters Have Choices for Library Trustees Spots

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Just one office has a contested race in the town election on Tuesday.
 
But it is a crowded field.
 
Four candidates are on the ballot for two three-year seats on the Milne Public Library Board of Trustees.
 
The race — along with several uncontested races — will be decided when residents go to the polls from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, May 12, at Williamstown Elementary School.
 
As is tradition in town, the town election will be followed one week later by the annual town meeting, also scheduled for the WES gymnasium, at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 19.
 
Willinet, the town's community access television station, offered the four library trustee candidates a chance to present themselves to the community in videotaped presentations available on the station and at its website, willinet.org.
 
The office sought by Janet Curran, Martin Mitsoff, Kathleen Schultze and Michael Sussman is one of seven seats on the Milne's Board of Trustees. That board is responsible for appointing the library director and deciding written policies for the library at 1095 Main St., on the Field Park rotary.
